BP Articles

BP Chats

Hi, thanks for the chat. Who have you seen that may not have the best "stuff" but finds success because of really good at sequencing?(The Shoe from Marvin Gardens)

Ted Lilly pops to mind. You can even point to late career Greg Maddux. I suspect it's a common trait with veteran guys, and a good research idea. We'll touch on this point a couple more times based on the questions in the queue. (Harry Pavlidis)

Daniel, thanks for the chat. As the rumor guru, what is the biggest deal you think might happen before opening day? Conversely, what is the deal you would most like to see happen?(LoyalRoyal from Tourney town)

I don't think we'll get any blockbusters over the next 10 days, but I could see the Cubs finding a taker for Carlos Marmol or the Dodgers unloading Ted Lilly or Aaron Harang. I would like to see the Rangers find a way to trade for an established starter, given that they have the prospect depth to do it, but I'm not sure that either Harang or Lilly would offer a material upgrade over their internal options. (Daniel Rathman)

Derek- which rookies currently in the minors do you see having the biggest impact this season? Any do you see any of them as upgrades from say Cameron Maybin or Ted Lilly (bottom of my roster)? Thanks(DanDaMan from SeaCliff)

At this point, it's pretty much all about opportunity. The Trouts and Harpers of the world are already here, and now it becomes a waiting game for a lot of guys. With Tabata getting demoted, that time could be now for a guy like Starling Marte. Some other names to consider: Wil Myers, Ryan Lavarnway (if traded out of Boston), Danny Hultzen, Jake Odorizzi, Jedd Gyorko, Johnny Giavotella, Mike Olt, Travis Snider. It's a gamble dropping an established big leaguer for one of those guys, but in a shallower league where they're just bench players anyway, gambling on some upside isn't a bad idea. (Derek Carty)

Jordan Zimmermann has pitched like an ace the last two seasons, but has a losing record over that time, because the Nationals simply don't hit when he pitches. It seems that some pitchers are doomed to poor run support. Do you know of any cases in which particular pitchers suffered eerily poor run support over significant stretches of their careers? I don't mean pitchers who labored for terrible teams, but ones that got poor support even if their colleagues did not.(HalfStreet from Fairfax VA)

The first name that comes to mind is Matt Cain, who -- after being denied the win in last night's duel -- remains just 70-73 for his career.

Ted Lilly, in recent years, hasn't had a whole lot of support. He had the fourth-fewest runs scored behind him in 2009 and the third-fewest in 2010.

And, if we're talking about a single season, Ben Sheets in 2004 is in a league of his own. (Daniel Rathman)

My pitchers include Madson, Putz, Moore, Scherzer and Beachy. At the auction are Halladay, Greinke, Hamels, Dan Hudson, Felix, CJ Wilson, CC, Lester, Gallardo and Strasburg. I have plenty of money - who do you think is the best complement to what I have on hand?(Kyran from Albany, NY)

That's a solid core, so grabbing a guy like Hamels, Greinke, or Gallardo could be enough if you add one or two more guys in the Scherzer/Beachy area, a Ryan Dempster or Ted Lilly type. (Derek Carty)

Ken, I agree with you about middling, FA SPs. For example, why is Hendry looking at mid-level starters when he has guys like Wells or Gorz, who are at least as good and much cheaper?(Matt from Chicago)

Agree -- although with the caveat that a one-year deal for a guy is fine. It's the 3-year, $10+M-per deals for average starters that wind up killing you. In Hendry's defense, though, he did pick the macaroon out of the cookie jar when he signed Ted Lilly, so maybe that's something he's good at. (Ken Funck)

How do you think the AL Central race will shake out, now that the White Sox have come back to earth?(Kevin from MSP)

I picked the Twins at the start of the season, and I'm sticking with it. Part of that is based on the belief that they'll break character and make some moves at the deadline, since any starting pitching will help them. I thought it might be Haren, but that ship has sailed. Ted Lilly, a flyball pitcher in a big park, might be a good fit. They have the new park, they've signed Mauer long-term-now's the time to go all in. Be bold, Bill Smith, and mighty forces will come to your aid. (Ken Funck)

What should a team expect if they trade for Ted Lilly? I've always liked him, but I noticed his strikeout rate is down this year, and his BABIP seems unusually (unsustainably?) low. Should I expect him to regress in the second half?(The Flying Bernard from Narragansett, RI)

For most of Lilly's career--2009 being the exception--he's been a guy who should have had (or had) ERAs in the low-to-mid four range. Now that he's missing the strikeouts, I don't expect that to improve. In the right park I would like him, but given his tendency to give up homers, the falling strikeout rate and his need to be perfect with his control, I wouldn't want him being acquired in exchange for much of value. (Marc Normandin)

So now that the Cubs are in a position of strength with Ted Lilly, how will Jim Hendry screw this up? Maybe offering him a late no trade clause like half the team already has? Why are the Cubs letting a lame duck GM control the July trades?(Goose from Chicago)

You know, you guys should use Cleveland to make yourself feel better. I'd like to see a depressed fan-off between you two. (Marc Normandin)

Do you buy the Cubs' version of Ted Lilly's shoulder surgery as basically a "cleanup"? If that is indeed the case, I would think he comes back stronger this year after gradually losing a bit of velocity over the past couple of years.(Matt from Chicago)

Buy it? Eh, that's what it was. Clean up some fraying, wash out the bits floating around. There was nothing structural and he's throwing. Pick up velocity? No, maybe a bit, but since he's likely not 100% by Opening Day, I think it won't look like it. He's aging, but lefty, so it all evens out. (Will Carroll)

Do the Cubs need to "sell" for tweaking purposes or a complete overhaul?(Matt from Chicago)

I dont think a complete overhaul is possible. First, we don't know what direction this team will have from Ricketts. Will anything change or will Hendry still have a free hand? How much payroll room will they have? Will he mind sunk costs? How will the debt service affect things? Will he need to save some cash to build/renovate Wrigley? There's a lot of questions that have to be answered that the Cubs just aren't answering yet. I'm not even sure they know yet.

They're at $120m already and lets assume Harden's not coming back. If they can save anything on Bradley, they're a bit ahead of the game. The guy I'd consider trading is Ted Lilly - last yr of his deal, could have some solid return for the right team. (Will Carroll)

That Harden trade just looks brilliant right now, doesn't it? But does that rotation really scare opposing hitters? Harden can be lights out, Dempster's going to get Cy votes, and Lilly's a good lefty, but it's not Webb-Haren-Johnson. It's not Shields-Garza-Kazmir, at least for dominance. It's not Beckett-Lester-Matsuzaka. It's not Sabathia-Sheets-whoever. (Will Carroll)

Why would I gauge the effectiveness of playoff teams' Top-3 pitchers by the amount of fear they cast in the opposing teams locker room?
harden, dempster, lilly are more than able to win the WS for the Cubs.
how's that for anti-pessimism?(jklein from TP)

"Scare" is a colloquialism. No one in the bigs thinks there's a pitcher he can't hit off of, but I'm saying there are guys that they would rather not face. Seriously, if I'm asking YOU to try and get a hit off a MLB pitcher, do you want CC Sabathia or Ted Lilly? (Will Carroll)

Sonnanstine's intriguing. Lilly's using the wrong pitches, from what I can tell. I like Gorzelanny, but I'd like him more if he'd stop hurting my own team's numbers. I'd take Sonnanstine for now, honestly. Phil Hughes is all kinds of messed up at the moment.

Sonnanstine's using a cutter more this year, probably to offset the number of fastballs in the zone hitters knew were coming in '07. It hasn't helped his strikeout rate, but he's lowered the number of base hits he's allowing. That's a tough crowd of FA, I'll give you that... (Marc Normandin)

Ooh, that's such a tough question. I expect Perez to have the best starts, but probably also the worst ones. Ted Lilly should pick up a bunch of wins and strike out a lot of hitters, and Phil Hughes could be the most average or the most productive.

How good is Christian Friedrich? I have seen some video and he does have a nasty curveball. Are the comparisons to Barry Zito fair, and how big of a concern are his walks?(Tom from Atlanta)

I think Zito is sort of the natural comparison for a guy of Chris' caliber, with that nasty curveball and a solid-average fastball behind. Ted Lilly and Sean Marshall are the others I usually here in that category. But you're right, the key for Chris this year is going to be commanding his fastball and proving that it can be a weapon in the way that Lance Broadway's fastball has never been a weapon behind his curve. I hope to talk to Friedrich on the phone relatively soon, and when I do, you can bet I'll Unfilter it immediately. (Bryan Smith)
